For the veil, Rodgers was inspired by Chanel’s bridal look for fall 1987: a turtleneck dress with a long veil that had two bows affixed to the sides. A week before her wedding, the stylist and her friends made a veil out of 55 feet of tulle with big bows on the side. Her outfit change was timed to the cake cutting, but the cake itself was spectacularly on theme. Rodgers was introduced to the baker—who is located an hour outside of Naples—through WhatsApp, but Rodgers wasn’t able to do a cake tasting ahead of time due to a taxi strike.
